Dravots Farewell

G C G Em C G D G The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; C G Em C G D G His blood red banner streams afar: Who follows in his train? Em C D G C D G Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, C G Em C G D G Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in his train. G C G Em C G D G That martyr first, whose eagle eye, Could pierce beyond the grave; C G Em C G D G Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on him to save. Em C D C D G Like him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, C G Em C G D G He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? C G Em C G D G A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came; C G Em C G D G Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. Em C D C D G They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; C G Em C G D G They bowed their heads the death to feel: Who follows in their train? C G Em C G D G A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid C G Em C G D G Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. Em C D C D G They climbed the steep ascent of heaven, Through peril, toil and pain; C G Em C G D G O God, to us may grace be given, To follow in their train. ************************************ | h Hammer-on ************************************
